Entry #1
"Write What You
Love"
by
Sheila Ann Manuel
"Let
love and faitfulness never leave
you;
bind them around
your neck,
WRITE THEM* on the tablet of your
heart."
(Proverbs 3:3, NIV)
*emphasis mine.
When asked why
a writer writes, Samuel Jackson
was once quoted: "No one but
a blockhead ever wrote for except
for money." To which Erica
Jong (author of books like
"Fear of Fifty")
retorted that "No one but a
blockhead ever wrote except for
love."
What about
you? Why
do you write (or want to write)? Where does
LOVE and FAITHFULNESS stand in
your life? What will you write
(or not write) for these?
CreativeFlex in
Writing:
1) Devise concrete and creative
ways to bind Love and
Faithfulness "around your
neck" (eg, "Buy a
pendant with the words
"Love" and
"Faithfulness" and wear
them as a necklace." -
hmmmm.... cheap shot. Id like to
know how you'd fare on this one!
:-))
2) List 5 Subjects/Titles that
you can think of as you look at
the words "love" and
"faithfulness." Focus
on one and Write On...
